Costil, on a misunderstanding...

Ligue 1, Stade rennais 3 - 2 Caen. Ironically, two days before the game, Benoît Costil had admitted that he could stop a penalty “on a misunderstanding”. The Rennes goalkeeper finally profited of his training club coming to Brittany to shine in this exercise.

TITRE

Rennes plays with fire

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 3 - 2 Caen. Comfortably leading after a well-controlled first half (3-0), Rennes gave themselves unnecessary frights in the second half by conceding twice around the hour mark. The responsibility incurs, particularly, to a completely passive defensive line.

TITRE

Stade Rennais can now rely on their bench

With a stronger and more substantial squad than last year, Frédéric Antonetti can finally do "some real coaching". Since the beginning of the season, Stade Rennais’ attacking substitutes have often made the difference. An extra argument to try and defeat Caen next Sunday.

TITRE

Post-academy rather than Academy training ?

Relegated to CFA2, the Reserve squad of Stade Rennais has been strengthened this summer, in particular with arrivals of young African players with « real potential » according to Pierre Dréossi. A temporary strategy to fill a generational gap or a new beginning for an extended orientation in the future ?

TITRE

It was time for the game to end

Ligue 1, Montpellier 4 - 0 Stade Rennais. Completely outplayed by a much superior Montpellier team, Rennes conceded a heavy defeat, their first loss of the season, at La Mosson. Visibly without energy, the Bretons had barely any chances on goal and were heavily dominated throughout the game.

Pitroipa, spectacular and decisive

Ligue 1, Stade rennais 1 - 1 Paris SG.

TITRE

A draw of the highest quality

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 1 Paris SG. Dominated at firstm then dominant themselves, Rennes held Paris SG to a logic draw. Trailing, Antonetti's men equalised in the last minutes of the game through Pitroipa, whose performance in this match made up for the lacklustre performance of the rest of the attacking line.

Lemoine, the fairy tale comes to an end

Abdoulaye Doucouré : “I take it with serenity”

Interview. At 18, Abdoulaye Doucouré is the first player of the 1993 generation to have been offered a professional contract, without going through the trainee contract stage.

The Stade Rennais, first leaders of Ligue 1

Ligue 1, Dijon 1 - 5 Stade Rennais. With its large success in Dijon, Stade Rennais is the first leader of the 2011-2012 Ligue 1 season. A five goals performance which notably impressed Robert Prosinečki, the manager of Red Star Belgrade… All echoes after the game.

TITRE

Luck and realism combine for a successful opening

Ligue 1, Dijon 1 - 5 Stade Rennais. The score line is flattering, it also means a successful start of the Ligue 1 season for Rennes. Lucky, after a Dijon goal was wrongly disallowed in the early stages of the game, the Breton then showed realistic, although they sometimes struggled defensively.

TITRE

Between hope and caution

What are Rennes’ ambitions for the 2011-2012 season? A few hours before the season begins for the “Rouge et Noir”, the answers are contrasted. Beyond the usual cautiousness of the Rennes management, are the declarations of intent of several players an indication of a conquering state of mind?

TITRE

A few uncertainties before kick-off

Ligue 1, Dijon - Stade rennais, Sunday, 17:00. Frédéric Antonetti is taking a group of nineteen players to Burgundy. The biggest interrogation is probably lying in the ability of M’Vila and Brahimi to hold their place this Sunday afternoon, for the team’s first game in Ligue 1.

TITRE

Antonetti warns his young players

Antonetti has already decided on his best eleven
